Four years after a devastating tragedy, Chloe and Gavin's worlds collide and they find their lives entangling once again. Haunted by the past, they are forced to come to terms with all that has transpired to find the peace they deserve. Except they can't seem to get near each other without combatting an intense emotional connection that brings them right back to where it all started, their childhood treehouse.

K.K. Allen is a new to me author. This is her first new adult romances and I hope it won’t be her last! I went into it fairly blind. I had read the blurb and it sounded good, but nothing could have prepared me for how it would suck me in so much that I listened to almost the entire book in one sitting! Had it not been for a low battery on my kindle, I probably would have! Up in the Treehouse tells the story of 3 best friends growing up together. They meet when they are 12 and as they grow, so do their relationships. Feelings of friendship change to lust and love, personalities change as they enter high school and move into adulthood. Their whole dynamic is threatened when two of them start dating. Tragedy strikes and changes things forever. That’s the before. Then comes the after. The book jumps back and forth from past to present throughout the story to get a full understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the characters. It has more angst than I’ve seen in a long time, but I loved it!! There was so much misunderstanding between characters that could have prevented a lot of heartache. I wanted to smack them upside the head several times, but hey, that’s how it happens in real life. The heart works in a unique way and your head rarely gets a say in it! Underneath all the angst and the story of love and friendship, is a greater message. Up in the Treehouse actually is a huge part of the book, not just the title. The deeper message in there is to celebrate “Hero’s and Legends” who stand up to and overcome bullies. It’s a wonderful theme that is really powerfully presented and even though it’s a main part of the book, it’s not thrown at you in an uncomfortable way, but rather inspiring and leaving you in awe. I really loved this book and I look forward to more from K.K Allen!

Very entertaining and enjoyable second chance at love story. The story is told in the present as well as through flashbacks to the past. It did take a bit for me to really get into the story though. Not sure why. I really liked the story and it is one I will definitely listen to more than once.

Love the comparisons/metaphor between life and the branches of the tree.

Love, betrayal, romance, guilt, heartache, friendship, bullying, secrets and so much more is woven into this story.

So glad that the "big secret" Gavin was keeping didn't turn out the way I thought it was going to.

This is my first K.K. Allen book, I need to check out the rest of her stories.

Anne James did a really good job with the narration. Pleasant voice. Easy on the ears. Good character voices. She was able to bring the characters to life an make you feel all their emotions through her narration. Very enjoyable

Even though the narration for this book was very enjoyable Dual narration would have been great.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher.
